What is the best power steering fluid to use?
I tired to do a search but it didn't work.

I bought some power steering fluid and it wasn't dextron III. I got some max life by valveilne. What should I use?

I think according to our owners manual, you are suppose to use Automatic Transmission Fluid.

If you put power steering fluid in, I highly recommend changing the fluid

The best one to use is the synthetic Mobil1 dexron III power steering oil. Almost all automatic transmission oil is dexron III.
